Where are you guys putting your money in that live in the US?
It does not seem to be a bright future for the US and the world in the next 10-20 years. How are going to pay for a War we can't afford, or afford to leave, natural disaster after disaster, health care that is so costly and I live of fear of going to the doctor as they hold anything you go in for down the road to deny your claims. I got the feeling they did not want to insure me because of my age (48).
I had to go through 6 months of tests, denied several times for things I went to the doctor for years ago, even though my doctor says I am perfectly heathy for my age. They finally gave me a policy at double the cost!
Our company spends over $3,000 a month on health insurance for two families and it just keeps going up every year. It is by far the highest expense our company faces. We can't hire full time people because we can't afford taking on their health insurance. Therefore we can't grow like we would wanted to.
We had an old investor for our company (who past away), would always tell us the depression's coming, no country can be on top forever. You guys have not lived through a depression (he did).
Nothing is forever and there is always change, both for good & bad. I often think one should have a plan for the new world, both financially and for my retirement. I sure as heck a not moving to California or to Arizona for retirement, like some people I know have.
They were showing how they are just plain out of water out west, where extreme high temperatures & drought are driving farmers to leave their land.
So what are you guys plans, if you even have one, or is day to day survival you're only concern?
